Thinking the city from the perspective of the territory
Keywords:
neo-liberal policies, economic re-structuring, inequity, discriminationAbstract
This article provides guidance for the organisation of the territory and its effect on the social dimension of the city, where the fragmentation caused by neo-liberal policies is evident, such as productive flexibility in an economic transition that, over institutional reformations and economic re-structuring, supports a new way of thinking the city as the effect of an utopic organisation that gets distant from the organisation of urban spaces, where the social contradictions are evident in new forms of inequity and discrimination.
When thinking the city, the conflicts related to planning and organisation of the territory and its connection with flexible production processes, and the local and regional asymmetries that they present, are the framework for the explanation of the vicissitudes of the city dweller. The contradictions leave their notch in the growing urban inequity, and the social fragmentation has its main expression in those cities where contradictions are evident in every day life.
